Chapter 152: Seizing Territory
All the fruits in the house come from the space, so I feel relieved that my child likes to eat ginger Changle.
Furthermore, orc children have better physiques and grow fast, so there is no need to worry about indigestion due to stomach problems.
"Where are they?" Jiang Changle asked again. She was referring to the other beastly husbands in the Jiang family.
"They're busy out there. There are foreigners in the east who need to be dealt with, and there's a snowstorm in the west. They're going to prepare manpower and goods to seize territory."
The Jiang family's beast husband is quite capable, which makes Mu Ma feel at ease and satisfied, so why is the princess enjoying herself? Isn't it all the wealth earned by the princess that has been transformed into the beast husband's ability?
As males, they should share the princess's worries and are reluctant to let her get tired.
It was simply unbelievable. They all had sullen faces and were jealous, but they also cared about Jiang Changle more than anyone else, which made Aunt Mu laugh.
But Jiang Changle felt more and more ashamed. On New Year's Day, everyone was working hard, but it was better not to mention her.
"Princess, go and eat. It's hot in the big pot on the stove."
"Okay." Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Jiang Changle didn't worry about it anymore. It was more important to fill his stomach quickly.
The foreign bandits from the east were the ones that Shi Niangzi came to ask for help yesterday. She had mentioned it to Xuan Qing and the others, but they haven't come up with a plan yet because of the New Year.
Jiang Changle was unaware of the snowstorm in the west, but the opportunity was rare, and it was indeed a good idea for the beastly husbands to seize territory.
At least the business market in that area must be opened up. As long as the Jiang family's goods can be circulated, it means that the Jiang family's influence has settled in.
She wanted to go and check out the situation, as she was somewhat worried about the beast husbands. Although they were capable, their thinking was definitely limited by the beast master, and their ideas might be different from hers.
In order to avoid any trouble, Jiang Changle still has to take care of it.
Jiang Changle washed up and changed her clothes. When she came to the kitchen, Mo Chen had just set the table.
"Something happened in the west too." He said this, naturally figuring it out himself.
"Yes, now is the best time to win people's hearts. Please calculate whether our soup can go smoothly and what we should pay attention to so as to maximize the benefits and avoid the harm and minimize the losses."
"I've calculated that the situation in the west is a bit tricky, and the situation in the east is still unclear. I'm afraid the enemy is also waiting and watching.
There may not be many foreigners coming from the east, as they are often stopped by the cold sea storm, so there is no rush."
"Then we will focus our forces on the west."
The couple discussed the situation and countermeasures while eating, and after finishing their meal, they got up and went to the workshop together.
There are large warehouses and cellars here, and all the items are stored here, so the security is quite strict.
Thanks to the protective formation set up by Mo Chen, the warehouse has not been invaded or destroyed by outsiders so far.
When the two arrived, He Jing and his team had just finished counting the goods and were in a meeting with some workshop executives. They were naturally happy to see Jiang Changle, but Mo Chen was treated with cold eyes.
However, he was tactful enough not to provoke these beastly men, so he was able to live in peace. After all, there were more urgent matters at hand.
The first to speak was He Jing, the oldest and most mature, "Usually during natural disasters like this, the Fifth Princess loves to join in the fun and gain fame.
Plus, she has some tricks up her sleeve, so she always succeeds. If we go there, we must be careful and not fall into her trap."
That is a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a white face and a cruel heart, and more tricks than a honeycomb.
He Jing is not afraid of this, but he is afraid of Gu Ci, the unpredictable new force.
"If you put it that way, I have to go myself. Otherwise, I won't trust anyone of you. The loss of failure is minor, but your safety is the most important."
Jiang Changle's face was solemn. The beastly husband of the Jiang family was powerful, but not as strong as her. Moreover, if they faced the fifth princess, they would be suppressed by their status, and it would be inconvenient for them to act.
But she is different. She has the strength and the status, and she will start a fight when she is unhappy. Who can do anything to her?
"No, it's freezing cold, how can I let my wife suffer?" Boss He Jing was unhappy.
"The Fifth Princess can go. I think I am stronger and more resilient than her." Jiang Changle still has this confidence.
"What about the baby?" Chu Weifeng was a little worried. He had been in poor health since childhood, and he didn't want the baby to be without the mother's care and become like him.
"It's okay for me to take care of them. Children grow fast. Once they are out of the confinement period, breast milk is no longer a staple food and they can eat other kinds of powdered food, I can let go.
However, we cannot go out because of the heavy snow blocking the roads. It is just right for us to produce more goods during this period and go out after the New Year.
The disaster has already happened, we can't rush it. Besides, the refugees are the dynasty's responsibility, and the dynasty is at the forefront. We are just doing business."
Jiang Changle's eyes lit up. Xuan Qing hit the nail on the head. "That's right, you have to remember that we are only doing business, not disaster relief or charity.
There's a queen above us, so it's not wise to rush to win the hearts and minds of the people. We'd rather spend money and put our power into that land, and that's how we win."
You have to know that when Lu Xingyan opened up trade routes in the past, he used money to pave the way. Every time he arrived in a city, he would bribe the local tyrants and share the profits to stabilize his business.
Although they made money, the Jiang family was often passive and unfree due to the interference of other forces, but there was nothing they could do about it.
But it’s different with natural disasters. They transport supplies because the situation requires it, and it paves the way for people’s livelihood. Officials are eager for it, so who would dare to ask for benefits?
Then the Jiang family's power naturally took root there.
He Jing sighed, "It seems that we are only interested in profit. If my wife only does business and does not seek the throne, then it will be enough.
However, the fifth princess used the dynasty's money to do good deeds and earned herself a reputation. If the wife wanted to fight with her, she would be relegated to the lower class."
This was the fifth princess's usual trick, and it was very effective. He Jing was still frightened when he thought of his previous life. That female was a few months younger than Jiang Changle, but her scheming was too deep and terrifying.
Jiang Changle, who has a straightforward style of doing things, is likely to suffer a loss.
Xuan Qing sneered, "What are you afraid of? Doing good deeds is only temporary, but doing business is long-term. We may as well be boiled like a frog in warm water. Does the Fifth Princess have that much money to compete with our Jiang family?"
Xuan Qing guessed that if the fifth princess didn't have it, the beastmen would eventually know who to choose as the right choice.
Jiang Changle chuckled, "Brother Snake, you know how to deal with frogs. I think so too. The dynasty is riddled with holes, and it's not something that the Fifth Princess can mend single-handedly.
We still have to rely on the cloth and other materials we produce to fill the gap. People's livelihood cannot be calculated, but must be created."
Xuan Qing and Jiang Changle smiled at each other, their tacit understanding was unprecedentedly harmonious.
He Jing's face darkened. He was being too sentimental. "Then you must remember that when you see Gu Ci, you must move your feet and think clearly, just like now."
Otherwise, he would cover her mouth in the street and forcefully kiss her!
